I can guess what you are thinking of for dinner tonight.

 

Grimace works hard for those ham radio parts. I get it.

 

Can never go wrong with dino nuggs

 

I like that you somehow dug up Grimace lore

 

As usual, I had to steer carefully around the vore fanfic.

 

Grimace hard vore fanfic sounds like a good plotline for an indie horror film

 

the PMX45 torch

its the hand torch not the machine version

 

but the machine is the "cnc" version lol

 

I might need these for the Land Cruiser, get into some 17s and 35s

 

I've used a 3D Print + sharpie when needed

 

these are so hawt

 

Got a buddy nearby that runs the hand torch on his table and he hates that he isn't sure if he's consistently placing it back in the holder any time he swaps consumables.

He's eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new torch

He'll either buy one himself, or buy my old machine torch. No need to have three torches myself

 

I'll see if I can find it on the internet, but it has a pretty good Clamp area , I actually haven't worried about that even once lol

 

this boi:


I clamp on the grey bit and haven't had a single worry, but maybe I should have?

 

He's been making and selling these; nets 2 pits per 4' x 4' sheet of 10 gauge and says sometimes he'll get beveling due to the torch not sitting identical to how it was on the cuts prior -





The machine torch mount allows one to change consumables without ever dismounting the torch.

Then again if you're not cutting often, there's no real benefit to having a machine torch.

 

Yeah, your torch uses the same consumables I'll be using. Your cut quality probably doesn't suffer due to the consumables you're using.

 

@Bandido

I get great cuts already, but my setup can be a bit temperamental











Hypertherm consumables will maintain this level of quality for a lot longer between cuts, and are easier to maintain.

I'll know I need to swap nozzles when I start getting a bit of beveling, and the crappy part being that the hafnium isn't even worn out yet on the electrode.

 

I get OK cuts, and I think I mostly need to dial in my settings for the material I am using more than anything else.

I have noticed some beveling on occasion, specifically when doing 3/8" 304 header flanges.

but on 1/8 its usually fine
